LXT 970/971 Non-Contact Torque Sensor
1.0 Short Description
The LXT 970/971 series allows an easy and inexpensive torque measurement for test benches and production
lines. With this torque sensor the effective torque on the gauge bar can be measured bi-directionally in real time
both at rest and in rotation.
The sensor is delivered as a complete unit with corresponding connecting cable and key stones. The torque
sensor is particularly characterized by its low price and high robustness.
